Evidently the app didn't completely close the first time, effectively turning my phone into an Echo device. Again, I don't want my phone to be and Echo!

There are many design patterns and exceptions, but in general, virtually no Android apps close just because they are no longer in the foreground, and all pressing the home button does is bring the launcher app to the foreground.
Going to your phones app manager and clicking "force close" on the app is the the closest thing to a sure way to stop an Android app I'm aware of.
Next to uninstalling it, of course, which is also a good option. You could always reinstall it later if you want to use it.
But I presume you actually USE the App and it's connected functionality for some reason. Surely there is a setting somewhere in the Alexa app itself to simply turn off the behavior you don't want?
